I also thought of that, but reading the manpage, it is about the *total*
count, that's why I was thinking that it needed at least some
clarification.

Agreed. I'd also suggest getting rid of the “total” word in the manpage,
“count” is enough. (Maybe also adding some words explaining that this
count depends on the options that are passed, like -I, but that would a
bit overkill, I believe, once that your “right fix” is implemented.)
